It appears that recent events, which include the House Republicans’ selection of a panel of all-male “authorities” on women’s health and a certain conservative radio host calling a young woman advocate a “slut,” have amounted to a wake-up call for right-leaning women.

Tina Fey might have been too busy (or too obvious), but luckily for HBO, the lovely and talented Julianne Moore has agreed to play the world’s most famous Wasillan, Sarah Palin, in HBO’s upcoming movie based on the book “Game Change.”

So, this “Game Change” book is making waves in the political world, what with its tales of infighting and palace intrigue in both leading candidates’ camps during the 2008 election. Stephen Colbert takes a peek between the covers before interviewing one of the book’s authors, John Heilemann, about the veracity of his, and co-author Mark Halperin’s, claims in these clips.

Don’t worry—everyone can see those trails you’ll observe around Jon Stewart in this “Daily Show” clip. It’s not just you. But speaking of weirdness, consider the possibility, which Stewart advances here, that Sarah Palin is actually quite brilliant for mobilizing an entire news network to help her “set the record straight,” as Bill O’Reilly puts it.
